Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone


Please Don’t Talk About Me When I’m Gone
Composer(s): Sidney Clare; Sam H. Stept
Performer(s): Billie Holliday;
and various other artists



Please don't talk about me when I'm gone
Though our friendship ceases from now on
If you can't say anything really nice
Just don't talk at all
That's my advice

We're parting
You go your way
And I'll go mine
It's best that we do
Here's a kiss
I hope that this brings
Lots of luck to you
It makes no difference how I carry on
Please don't talk about me when I'm gone

Please don't talk about me when I'm gone
Though our friendship ceases from now on
If you can't say anything really nice
Just don't talk at all
That's my advice

We're parting
You go your way
And I'll go mine
It's best that we do
Here's a little kiss
And I hope that kiss this brings
Lots of luck to you

It makes no difference how I carry on
Please don't talk about me
Don't you talk about me
Please don't talk about me when I'm gone

Un Mundo Raro


Un Mundo Raro
Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez;
and various other artists



Cuando te hablen de amor y de ilusiones
y te ofrezcan un sol y un cielo entero
si te acuerdas de mi no me menciones
porque vas a sentir amor del bueno

Y si quieren saber de tu pasado
es preciso decir una mentira
di que vienes de allá, de un mundo raro
que no sabes llorar
que no entiendes de amor
y que nunca has amado

Porque yo adonde voy
hablaré de tu amor
como un sueño dorado
y olvidando el rencor
no diré que tu adios me volvió desgraciado

Y si quieren saber de mi pasado
es preciso decir otra mentira
les diré que llegue de un mundo raro
que no sé del dolor
que triunfe en el amor
y que nunca he llorado

Composer(s): Bert Kalmar; Harry Ruby; Ted Snyder
Performer(s): Connie Francis



Who's sorry now?
Who's sorry now?
Whose heart is aching
For breaking each vow?
Who's sad and blue?
Who's crying too?
Just like I cried over you

Right to the end
Just like a friend
I tried to warn you somehow
You had your way
Now you must pay
I'm glad that
You're sorry now

Don Davis; Raymond Jackson
Performer(s): Johnnie Taylor;
and various other artists



All you fellas, gather 'round me
and let me give you some good advice
What I'm gonna, gonna ask you now
You'd better think about it twice
While you're out cheatin' on your woman
there is something I never ever dreamed of and that is

Who's making love to your old lady
While you were out making love
Who's making love to your old lady
While you were out making love

I've known so, so many fellows
All in that same old bag
Thinkin' that a woman was made to
to be beat on and treated so bad
Well now fellows, let me tell you something
Something I never ever dreamed of

Who's making love to your old lady
While you were out making love
Who's making love to your old lady
While you were out making love

I know there are some woman guilty of this too
I'm not trying to run you life boy, the choice is up to you
Yeah you, you you

Reason why I ask this question
I used to be the same old way
'Til I started to straighten up
I found out it was a bit too late
Oh yeah, that's when it all started
Something I never ever dreamed of

Somebody was a lovin' my old lady
While I was out making love
Somebody was a lovin' my old lady
While I was out making love

Now who's making love to your old lady
While you were out making love
Who's making love to your old lady
While you were out making love

Somebody was a lovin' my old lady
While I was out making love

All Is Forgiven, Come Home


All Is Forgiven, Come Home
Composer(s): Candy Hemphill Christmas - Joel Hemphill
Performer(s): Karen Froude



I gathered my treasures and followed the road
With glamourous visions in mind
I left some hearts aching, who'd loved me so strong
I had new pleasures to find

The treasures were wasted
And pleasures I tasted were bitter to me in the end
And soulless I sought, I woke up and thought
I heard a sweet voice on my way

Saying, "All is forgiven, come home
All is forgiven, come home
The Father's anxiously waiting, and watching the road
All is forgiven, come home"

If you are someone who wandered away
Leaving more love than you found
Greener pastures glowing that caused you to stray
Along the road leading down

There is someone who's love is forever
He's the essence of mercy and grace
Sweetly a small voice is speaking within
Listen and you'll hear him say

"All is forgiven, come home
All is forgiven, come home
The Father's anxiously waiting, and watching the road
All is forgiven, come home"

Come home, come home
Ye who are weary, come home
The Father's anxiously waiting, and watching the road
All is forgiven, come home
All is forgiven, come home
All is forgiven, come home

Who's In The Strawberry Patch With Sally


Who's In The Strawberry Patch With Sally
Composer(s): Russell Brown; Irwin Levine
Performer(s): Tony Orlando & Dawn; Ray Conniff



One day happy, one day sad
Feeling good, then feeling bad
in anger words are spoken
Then haste a heart is broken

who's in the strawberry patch with Sally
Now that she's not picking them with me?
Oh no, I don't care what they're doing there
Beneath the shade of the old apple tree

Hey, I bet they're laughing and talking love talk
Just like the way we used to do
Ah, who's in the strawberry patch with Sally
Whispering 'I love you'?

I can't take it, I just can't take it
It's driving me mad
Sally was the best love-maker
That I ever had
Who's in the strawberry patch with Sally?
Who's making love to her tonight?

I can't take it, I just can't take it
It's driving me mad
Sally was the best love-maker
That I ever had
Who's in the strawberry patch with Sally
While the Wabash moon is shining bright?

Had I been true to her
I'd be there now
In the strawberry patch with Sally tonight, oh yeah
In the strawberry patch with my Sally tonight

All In The Name Of Love


All In The Name Of Love
Performer(s): Willie Nelson



Big Jim Butcher was the king of the hill
He ran his business with a deadly will
His foreman, John, had a pretty wife
The way she looked cut Jim like a knife

John was weak and his wife was, too
Her name was Kate, and she fell in, too
She let Big Jim do what he had to do
And John stood by and his life was thru

It was all in the name of love
All in the name of love
You can't change the stars above
All in the name of love

John took a bottle one drink at a time
Stared off in space as he lost his mind
Knew who it was on the telephone
He saw it all and he felt so alone

One dark morning, John stood up like a man
He took his shotgun with a steady hand
He went to the motel - broke the door in
He left two holes where two hearts had been

It was all in the name of love
All in the name of love
You can't change the stars above
All in the name of love

He called the preacher and he called the law
And when they got there it was pretty raw
He said "Boys, you better come and take me away
I've done all I can do in the name of love today"

It was all in the name of love
All in the name of love
You can't change the stars above
All in the name of love

It was all in the name of love
All in the name of love
You can't change the stars above
All in the name of love

It was all in the name of love
All in the name of love
You can't change the stars above
All in the name of love

Who's Holding Donna Now?


Who's Holding Donna Now?
Composer(s): David Foster; Randy Goodrum; Jay Graydon
Performer(s): DeBarge; Big Mountain



Sometimes a love won't let go
Hard as I try I know it shows
Everybody's telling me
You'll be over her eventually
But how am I supposed to feel so secure

When I keep wonderin'
Who's holding Donna now
And I keep wonderin'
Who's heart she's knocking around
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To be in his shoes somehow
And I keep wonderin'
Who's holding Donna now
And I keep wonderin'
What magic can be found
To turn me back to the one
Who's holding Donna now

The letter started with goodbye
I've read it half a million times
Tell me this is just a dream
When I wake up she'll be here next to me
Tell me it will be just the way it was, oh

Well I keep wonderin'
Who's holding Donna now
And I keep wonderin'
Who's heart she's knocking around
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To be in his shoes right now
And I keep wonderin'
Who's holding Donna now
And I keep wonderin'
What magic can be found
To turn me back to the one
Who's holding Donna now

Who's holding Donna now
I keep wonderin'
Who's heart she's knocking around
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To be in his shoes right now
(Whoa whoa whoa!)
Who's holding Donna now
(Ohhhh Donna)
What magic can be found
To make me the one,
Who's holding Donna now
I can't get Donna off my mind
Who's holding Donna now
I keep wonderin'
Who's heart she's knocking around
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To be in his shoes right now

All In My Mind
Composer(s): Fred Johnson - Maxine Brown - Leroy Kirkland
Performer(s): Maxine Brown



I think that you don't care
And it's more than I can bear
I dont know, baby
Maybe its all in my mind, all in my mind

I know that I've been true
But honey, sweetie baby what about you?
I don't know, baby
Maybe it's all in my mind

We've been going steady so long
I'd never dream you would ever do me wrong
I knew I was yours and I thought you were mine
And that every little thing was so fine

Whoa, darling, I'd hate to see
Someone else with you other than me
I dont know baby
Maybe its all in my mind
All in mind, oh, uum, uum
Oh yes, its all in my mind

I dont mean to think so mean and evil, baby
Please tell me, tell me
It's all in my mind

Who's Gonna Take The Garbage Out


Who’s Gonna Take The Garbage Out
Composer(s): Teddy Wilburn; Johnnny Tillotson; Lucille Cosenza
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb & Loretta Lynn



I take too much abuse from you that's all I ever get
Yeah...
Callin' a man like you a husband is just like callin' a wildcat a pet

You'd better stop your runnin' around straighten-up and start movin’ on
But who's gonna take your garbage out when I've packed my bags and gone

Each day you walk off over me can't you take another out
If you start actin' like married man maybe we could find the way to work things out

You'll find your key won't fit the lock if you keep on a keepin' on
But who's gonna take your garbage out when I've packed my bags and gone

I know you think I'm runnin' round and that's why you're so peeved
That's another line of that same old stuff that I hope you don't expect me to believe

Go out tonight but don't come back because you just lost a home
But who's gonna take your garbage out when I've packed my bags and gone

I know you think I'm runnin' round and that’s why you’re so peeved
That's another line of that same old stuff that I hope you don't expect me to believe

Go out tonight but don't come back because you just lost a home
But who's gonna take your garbage out when I've packed my bags and gone
Honey who's gonna take your garbage out when I've packed my bags and gone

You're gonna miss me honey gal
Ah…
Who are you kiddin'

Who's Gonna Take You Home Tonight


Who's Gonna Take You Home Tonight
Composer(s): Martin Page
Performer(s): Tom Jones



There's a place you go after dark
Where you sell your haunted heart
In the shadows you look for the friend
Who'll take you where the sidewalks ends

And it's a sad affair
You reach out but no one's there

Tell me who's gonna take you home tonight
Take your hand and hold you tight
Who'll be the one to make it right
And promise you paradise

Tell me who's gonna take you home tonight
Turn the darkness into light
And wipe away the tears you cry
Just another stranger
Will be taking you home tonight

You couldn't see that love was the price
What happened to the light in your eyes
Broken dreams fall at your feet
You stand alone on a dead end street

So who's gonna hear you prayer
Look around there's no one there
He'll tell you dreams come true
And take you to some rented room
But when the blinds are drawn
Another angel will fall

I guess it's in your blood
One love just ain't enough

Tell me who's gonna take you home tonight
Take your hand and hold you tight
Who'll be the one to make it right
And promise you paradise

Tell me who's gonna take you home tonight
Turn the darkness into light
And wipe away the tears you cry
Just another stranger
Will be taking you home tonight

All In Love Is Fair


All In Love Is Fair
Composer(s): Stevie Wonder
First release by: Stevie Wonder - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists



All is fair in love
love's a crazy game
Two people vow to stay
in love as one
they say

But all is changed with time
the future none can see
the road you leave behind
Ahead lies mystery

But all is fair in love
I had to go away
A writer takes his pen
to write the words again
All in love is fair

All of fate's a chance
it's either good or bad
I tossed my coin to say
to say
in love with me you'd stay
but all in war is so cold

you either win or lose
when all is put away
the losing side I'll play

But all is fair in love
I should have never left your side
A writer takes his pen
to write the words again
that all in love is fair
A writer takes his pen
to write the words again

that all in love is fair

Don't Be Surprised


Don't Be Surprised
Composer(s): Margie Singleton - Jerry Kennedy
Performer(s): Dave Dudley



I've known all alone that you had leavin' on your mind
My questions had been answered by the look that's in your eyes
Any day now you'll come to me and I know just what you'll say
First you apologize say that you expect the words and then walk away

Don't be surprised if I don't look surprised when you say goodbye
Don't be takin' by surprise but you expect the absence of tears in my eyes
Any day now you'll come to me...

Any day now you'll come to me...

Who's Gonna Play This Old Piano?


Who's Gonna Play This Old Piano?
Composer(s): Ray Griff
Performer(s): Jerry Lee Lewis



Who's gonna play this ol' piana
After I'm not here?
Who's gonna sing these sad songs to you
'Cause your eyes to fill with tears?
Who's gonna keep these ivories talking
Like Jerry's doin' now?
Who's gonna play this ol' piano
After my last bow?
When that final curtain calls
Someday lord it will!
Who'll take my place on that stage
When everything is ah hushed and still
Who's gonna touch these keys with feeling?
Really get to you
Who's gonna play this ol' piano
When my time is through
The killer ain't through yet though baby!

We've laughed and you know we've cried together
Done a million shows
So I kinda think like I
Have every single right to know
Who's gonna keep this music going?
Who will carry on?
Who's gonna play this ol' piano
After the Killer's gone?!
Give it to me boy!

whooo

hangin' like dungotin
